| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 2, 2008 Found this one bottled at Lundeen’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Hazy dark orange pour with a thick and foamy light tan head, brassy nose of floral hops, clover honey and a hint of chocolate malt. Interesting taste: the bitterness of rosy hops, orange rind, gin and very strong tea. Finishes strong and bitter. I’d call it a hop bomb but it really wasn’t all that hoppy, there’s a lot more going on with this one. hombrepalo (763), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Bomber! Hazy color with big head. Typical IPA nose to it, nothing over the top. More malty than hoppy. I was expecting a little more hop to it. NobleSquirrel (1106), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2008 Tap at Kuma’s. Nice looking beer, rich golden color. It’s pretty up there in rough bitterness, kind of similar to hopsickle, though not as complex. A dry IPA with a long bitterness but not enough hop flavor. Nice, but nothing spectacular. ryan (1775), Beltsville, Maryland, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Hazy golden body with a medium sized white head. Spicy herbal, floral hop nose with light citrus, honey and dough. The flavor lightly sweet, moderately bitter with cotton candy, spicy herbal and citrus hops, flowers and honey. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Solid. kmweaver (2440), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 14, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of artusory. Thanks, Ryan! Pours a hazy, golden-orange color; thin white head with solid lacing. Lots of earthy, spicy hops in the aroma; candy sugar and toasty grains. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: fluffy carbonation; lots of earthy and citrus hops; candy sugar, cereal, and chewy maltiness; reasonably tasty IPA. Lengthy finish, showing candy sugar, basic chewy malts, and plenty of earthiness. Ramenen (454), San Salvador, El Salvador
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 9, 2008 Drank it on tap at the brewery. Pours an amber color, medium/light bodied. Piney aroma and taste, very well balanced with some sweetness. xmarcnolanx (792), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA

Finish lingers like a MF with bitter orange hops.
This is stellar.
